Hello!
...next to
Gymnochaeta viridis (same day). I am rather sure about
Kirbya moerens. About 6 mm, on stone at forest border (northwest Germany).

Yes, I am no expert on
Kirbya because it doesn't live in the UK but I think that this is a correct ID :)

Thank you, Chris!
I think it is not very abundant here in northwest Germany, too. I last saw this species 3 years ago.

It has a good year here in Hessen. I´ve caught 7m1f already and seen many. Common also in the city gardens!

I saw loads buzzing around a hillside on the Sorrentine Peninsular in early March :) Only managed to get my net on one of them though :(
